Berry did, however, eventually issue an apology in a post still visible on his site Sunday afternoon.

“I apologize to my loyal fans for my tweet,” Berry wrote. “jus disgusting how ppl can get when they don’t know nothin at all.”

Fans can get real nasty on Twitter, so I understand how athletes can get annoyed, but it doesn’t help them in any way to lash out. It only hurts their public perception.

The facts are Berry had a bad game, that is life. Shake it off and move on, pulling the “Broke and Miserable” card is weak. Athletes love to say that and it is an arrogant disrespectful comment to the fans who help make sure he isn’t broke.
